From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Suzuki Escudo is a four wheel drive SUV made by Suzuki Motors for the Japanese market. A larger version is also made, known as the Suzuki Grand Escudo. The Escudo was known in North America as the Suzuki Sidekick, and in Europe (and more recently in North America) as the Suzuki Vitara and the Suzuki Grand Vitara. It manufactured in 3- and 5-door frames.
[edit] Pikes Peak Edition
The Pikes Peak Edition (PPE) of the Escudo is specially tuned with over 1000 bhp, four wheel drive, and sporting huge aerodynamic aids. It was entered by Suzuki in a number of Japanese events in the late-1990s, where it beat most of the competition.
The car regularly takes part in the Pikes Peak International Hillclimb, driven by Nobuhiro "Monster" Tajima and is identifiable by its large rear wing and red paintjob.
